1、Designation: D6231 11Standard Specification forHFC-125 (Pentafluoroethane, C2HF5)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D6231; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in par

2、entheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the requirements for HFC-125as a firefighting medium.1.2 This specification does not address the firefightingequipment or

3、hardware that employs HFC-125 or the condi-tions of employing such equipment, for example, hand helds,fixed installations, etc.1.3 This specification does not address the storage ortransportation of HFC-125. Storage, handling, and transporta-tion issues are addressed in Practice D6268.1.4 The values

4、 stated in both inch-pound and SI units are tobe regarded separately as the standard. The values given inparentheses are for information only.1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains to the testmethods portion, Section 6, of this specification. This standarddoes not purport to address all of

5、 the safety concerns, if any,associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of thisstandard to establish appropriate safety and health practicesand determine the applicability of regulatory limitations priorto use. Specific hazards statements are given in 4.3.2. Referenced Documents2.

9、venientmeans to reference halogenated hydrocarbons (see ASRE 34).Halogenated hydrocarbons are saturated hydrocarbons inwhich one or more of the hydrogen atoms have been replacedby atoms of the halogen series: fluorine, chlorine, bromine, andiodine. It is convention to prefix the number with an abbre

Thesecond digit from the right is the number of hydrogen

Material Requirements4.1 Type I:4.1.1 The nitrogen (N2) partial pressure shal

17、l be such thatthe safe working pressure of the receiving vessel is notexceeded. To prevent excessive pressure, the fill density of theHFC-125/nitrogen within the container should not exceed thatneeded to achieve complete filling of the container at themaximum expected storage temperature. For exampl

18、e, the U.S.DOT 4BA500 cylinder partial pressure shall not exceed 24.8bar at 21 C (360 psig at 70 F) for a 833 kg/m3(52 lb/ft3) filldensity. For this example, the safe working pressure of the4BA500 cylinder is not exceeded for temperatures below 54 C(130 F).4.1.2 HFC-125 shall conform to the requirem

19、ents pre-scribed in Table 1 when tested by the appropriate test meth-od(s) listed in Section 6.4.1.3 When material analysis is required, by agreementbetween the purchaser and the supplier, the total pressure in theHFC-125 container, partial pressure of the nitrogen, the filldensity of the HFC-125 wi

20、thin the container, and the maximumsafe storage temperature shall be part of the material analysis(certification). The pressure shall be reported in bar (preferred)or pound-force/in.2gage (psig). The fill density shall bereported in kg/m3at 21C (preferred) or lb/ft3at 70 F. Themaximum safe storage t

21、emperature of the HFC-125 shall bereported in C (preferred) or in F and shall conform to theapplicable regulations for the HFC-125 container design anduse.4.2 Type IIHFC-125 shall conform to the requirements ofType I as listed in 4.1 and shall contain no more than 1.5 % byvolume non-absorbable gases

22、 in the vapor phase, expressed asair when tested by the appropriate test method(s) listed inSection 6.4.3 By agreement between the purchaser and the supplier,analysis may be required and limits established for elements orcompounds not specified in Table 1.(WarningExposure toconcentrations of HFC-125

23、 in excess of 10 % by volume in airduring periods of elevated adrenaline could produce cardiacarrhythmia in some personnel.)4.4 Unless otherwise specified, Type I is assumed.5. Sampling5.1 Samples of HFC-125 taken from the liquid phase, shallbe taken from filled containers in accordance with the met

24、hodspecified in ISO 3427. The sampling bottle shall be capable ofsafely resisting the vapor pressure of the sample at the highesttemperature that could be encountered.5.2 The HFC-125 selected in accordance with 5.1 shall betested for quality conformance in accordance with Section 6.The presence of o

25、ne or more defects shall be cause forrejection.6.
